Eh, someone's a little passive agressive. Nothing wrong with FooFoo and anyone who votes for it Nothing wrong with the FonzEEH or any other shirts, just depends on peoples wants and tastes and votes. That's just how it works . . .You know that.

Couldn't do a black tee because I have to leave the shirt and helmet colors open to the shirt color behind. The black is a top layer. But having it on Cranberry is good. I have a cranberry colored shirt from woot and it's a nice dark color. It's like a maroon or burgandy (without the bluer hues). I thank you for the votes though! I really would like to see this one printed!

This is for the few that will understand this oh so esoteric reference...

Men, are you going to let flowers dominate the fog?

I know you are out there, you geeks.

Men, aged approximately 27 - 40 years old who played this most wonderful game with your older brother who never let you be the Allies, but you beat him anyways by berserking across Russia to take Caucus, The Oil Fields and eventually Moscow.

You know you love it.

Even now, you are being whisked away into visions of that 'one time' of rolling snake eyes with your infantry men over and over against your opponent's expensive fighters or bomber planes to take the key piece of land that would let your tanks berserk through to the capitol.

Zoink, you just took over an industrial complex. Time to start laying down the law, and putting reinforcements down one by one, so they could never take it back.

Victory was yours back then, over your mean spiteful brother. So what, if he took the board throwing it up in the air with the game pieces and annihilating the game before you could finally take over, he knew you had won, you knew you had won.

You are a winner boy. Wear this shirt, and show up to the family get together, point to your chest and say remember this? And put a fist to his face for all those times he lorded over you like you did that one time on Axis and Allies.

My husband likes Adv. Squadron Leader better than A&A but would still be into this. Would like it better on red or black, but this will work.
Thanks Jimiyo.

It seems like you can get votes by putting a cute face on anything. Like the pancakes from this week and those bubbles from last week. Also shirts that are a little girly get votes like the king of carrot flowers from last week or this shirt. I just want to know who I should be designing tshirts for. cool shirt btw.

So far the fog is looking like the gift shop in a casino in Penticton.

Except the chemistry one. No offense, but I really am surprised at the fog.

Thanks for your compliments. I wanted to come up with a shirt design that people could wear without having to explain the maple leaf or eh on their shirt. I am not from the Northern US or Canada, so I would get constant blank stares if I ever wore anything like that. Since I had no desire to wear such things, I thought that some others might like the idea as well.

hey brother or sister. i wasnt making fun of your shirt. i was trying to illustrate a point.

people were commenting in the FonzEhhh that he looked scary and it gave them nightmares...

theres nothing wrong with Foo Foo, i was only pointing out the fickleness of the voters opinions

a happy moose giving thumbs up gives nightmares, but a 'demented' 'evil' bunny does not?

those are passive aggressive comments to me.

In a system where honest critiques gets 20 people to jump on your back, where a misunderstanding of the rules gets 30 comments that say the same thing, where "popular" status loses you more votes then it gets you, where talent is asked to sit on the sidelines so everyone can get a shot at the lime light, and where most people can vote more than once, passive agressiveness is our only acceptable outlet for derby angst.

I know it's kind of late in the voting to do a resub, but I felt that this was a better design. I removed the "N" and made the whole thing bigger on the shirt, and also changed up the northern lights a bit. It's going to be nearly impossible to get even near the "fog of war" at this point, but I think that better design is worth losing some ground on!

Thanks for the kind remark. I thought this would have done better, but perhaps my total iggnorance to all things Canadian is showing through. Most of my knowledge of Canada are just the stereotypes that you get in movies.

I do like this better and it is still fairly early in the derby, so I think you could still stand a chance.
